Comet Halley, fan leaf, 18th century
Skin fan leaf placed in the rectangle painted with the passage of Halley’s comet with chinoiseries and monkeys: astronomers observe and make scientific calculations during the passage of the comet, some ride fantastic birds and are accompanied by monkeys who imitate them, others open the sky to allow the comet to join the moon. All on a background of decor reminiscent of Japanese silks
